    Totally. I feel like that’s a bit of a holdover from Reddit is all and there’s usual some flexibility here so I’m saying it’s good when people utilize it.

    Personally I like altering the title, including the origina title in the text, and maybe a few other articles on the topic or to add context. It doesn’t take much effort on my part and I feel like it shows I’m not just dumping links and might engage in a conversation about it.

      I came to Reddit from Fark, where half the fun was making the headline funny, at least in context of the story. It was really hard for me to get used to the subreddits that insisted the headline be the original. It doesn’t bother me so much now, except I viscerally hate clickbait headlines.
